That is a nicely figured piece of birch. As these old all-birch guitars are so easy to find and so cheap to buy I used to occasionally experiment with them. I took one in particular which had an unusually pretty top and converted it into a Big Joe Wlliams 9 string lap guitar. While I was at it I enlarged the soundhole and refinished it. A couple of folks told me they liked the way it looked so much they offered to buy it off of me.
But in your case, I would also definitely want to leave the graphics be. The cool factor is undeniable.
